The application of water-based mold-preventing agent in textile coatings
The water-based mold inhibitor effectively inhibits the growth of mold in damp environments by being added to the textile coating adhesive. It prolongs the lifespan of textiles and enhances their functionality and safety. Its application scenarios and advantages are as follows:
1. Application scenarios
Functional textiles
Antibacterial and deodorizing sportswear: By adding the water-based mold inhibitor to the coating, sportswear can be endowed with long-lasting antibacterial, mold-resistant, and odor-removing functions, improving the comfort of wearing.
Medical protective clothing: The combination of the mold inhibitor and the coating adhesive enhances the antibacterial performance of the protective clothing, meeting the hygiene requirements of medical scenarios.
Tent waterproof coating: By adding the mold inhibitor to the coating of outdoor tents, it prevents mold growth in damp environments and prolongs the lifespan.
Synthetic leather and leather products
Sofa/automobile seat synthetic leather: The mold inhibitor can prevent the surface of synthetic leather from mold growth, keeping the surface clean and enhancing the durability of the product.
Footwear adhesive interface: In the production of footwear, adding the mold inhibitor to the water-based adhesive can prevent mold growth in areas such as the heel and layer leather due to the adhesive.
Paper products and packaging materials
Laminated paper and packaging boxes: Adding the mold inhibitor to the coating of paper products can prevent mold growth caused by the adhesive, prolonging the shelf life.
Gift boxes and document bags: The mold inhibitor can protect packaging materials from mold erosion, ensuring the safety of the contents.
2. Core advantages
Broad-spectrum antibacterial, long-term protection
The water-based mold inhibitor has a strong killing effect on common molds such as Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, and Trichoderma, with a low inhibitory concentration and lasting efficacy of 1-2 years, resistant to rain erosion.
Suitable for weakly acidic and weakly alkaline environments, with good chemical stability, not decomposing below 100°C, ensuring stability during processing and use.
Environmentally friendly and safe, with strong compatibility
Using water as the dispersion medium, it is non-toxic and odorless, in line with environmental protection standards, and harmless to human health.
Compatible with water-based coating adhesives, adding it does not change the viscosity, color, or quality of the adhesive, and does not affect the appearance and performance of the textile products.
Enhancing product value
The mold-resistant function enables textiles to meet green building and healthy housing standards, becoming a core selling point for high-end home furnishings, clothing, and automotive interiors.
Extending product lifespan and reducing the frequency of replacement due to mold growth, in line with the concept of sustainable development.
3. Application cases
Footwear production: Adding 2%-3% of the mold inhibitor to the coating of heel and wood heel packages in shoes can effectively prevent mold growth, especially suitable for humid environments.
Bag manufacturing: Adding 1%-2% of the mold inhibitor to adhesives such as spray adhesives and PU adhesives can prevent the adhered fabrics from mold growth, improving product quality.
Furniture and handicrafts: Adding the mold inhibitor to furniture adhesives (such as white latex, hot melt adhesives) can cut off the nutrient source for mold growth and extend the lifespan.
4. Precautions
Addition ratio: It is recommended to add the mold inhibitor at 1%-2% of the adhesive weight. The specific ratio needs to be adjusted according to product requirements and mold resistance levels.
Storage conditions: The mold inhibitor should be stored in a sealed manner in a cool and dark place, avoiding direct sunlight, with a shelf life typically of 1 year.
Process compatibility: Ensure that the mold inhibitor is compatible with the coating adhesive in terms of chemical properties to avoid affecting the coating performance.
